I just hope something gets done. I'm sick of the CWA being so tight-lipped about everything. Velvet does need to go. If not, the buck up and start representing us union members!

Yeah, that joke was very out of taste. It's one thing to laugh a near disaster off, but this is an entirely different thing. Regardless of airline, I, personally, would not joke in that manner. No less reference the incident in flight with passengers listening (I would imagine that some...

The closest thing that comes to my head is, get this, an add-on for Flight Simulator 2004. I can't remember which one, but it is a "payware aircraft", the software for a specific airplane that you can add on to FS2004, or FSX. You can pull up the Garmin GNS430, or even a G1000, depending on your...

Ask the folks at Aircraft Spruce and Specialty. They carry that radio, along with several others, and they are very quick with responding emails (I'm considering getting a flight case from there, over Sporty's).

Now, what's this I heard about free drinks again? Wendy's is becoming more generous again?! LOL

I started my flight training with Justice Aviation in Santa Monica. They have a great fleet and decent prices. If you're going to fly out of Torrance, go to Benbow Aviation. I also recommend going to http://www.letsgoflying.com for more information. Welcome to aviation my friend! You'll...

Agreed. And, also remember, that a private pilot certificate can act as a sport pilot certificate when you use your driver's license in lieu of a medical certificate (but ONLY in that situation).

As far as it being useful, wireless internet on board would be beneficial to flight itself only if our pilots use an electronic flight bag (i.e. the above-mentioned NEXRAD datalink, but to be used in conjunction with GPS, Departure Procedures, Standard Terminal Arrival Procedures that can be...

I said this once before (with Velvet wanting to know who I was), and I'll say it again. Valiantly! THE CWA MUST GO! THERE IS NO REASON FOR US TO BE REPRESENTED BY A SCUTT UNION! It's HIGH TIME for us to ditch the CWA for better representation. And I'll be waiting for my ballot!

That's touchy territory. That's VERY touchy territory. Because you shouldn't be below 500 feet unless you're landing or taking off. Heard of "erring on the side of caution"? I like to say "erring on the side of the FAA". Let's say something were to happen. An FAA inspector will show up and ask...

Wurd up, girl! Can't eat cheap and poop fancy, can't polish a turd, and you can't expect absolute servitude on a dirt cheap fare either. All those customers need now is a bullwhip and for us to obey! I've seen people who did not want to be helped, even though they were begging for help, threw...

I'm not sure if they're accurate...I've sent several with no response.

My thoughts are with him and his family. Blue Skies and Tailwinds to them.

I've met folks at Benbow Aviation (Torrance) and Justice Aviation (Santa Monica), and both have top notch training. I have flown with the folks at Justice, though. They're excellent. That is, unless, you're looking for a high-powered flight academy. ATP is at Long Beach, and they can get you...

I heard of a similar story happening last year at another Florida city, but I can't remember which one. Never made it on the news, though. The flight the lady was supposed to be on was to leave a few hours after she got to the gate (same one for SJU). She ended up somewhere in Florida, though (I...
